Default LT5 Paint

Thinking its about time to get the LT5 looking good again. I saw a guy down in Ocean city this past weekend that had his engine repainted with the paint listed on the service bulletin. It Looked great. Anyone have any further info on the newest paint, and cost to get it done?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

As Kevin pointed out the paint is available, and there are several people who can powder-coat it for you with very nice results. Several of the ZR-1 tuners do the work along with a P&P of the plenum and IH's if you want the extra power that can be gained. Jeff (Jeffvette) who frequents the forum also does the powder-coating in just about any color you desire. Ask him for some pictures of previous work he has done to get an idea.

Glad to have you aboard.

Well, depending on how bad it is now, you will either loose some points on condition but get all for originality. Or you can repaint and loose all for originality and none on condition. Or you can say screw it and paint it however you want. Also, if you repaint it per the service bulletin, you will still loose all originality points.

There were so many variations in the original color of these engines. I have seen them from a sort of gun metal gray to a nice silver....all on stock engines ,some with very few miles on them.
